Author Who Predicted 2012 “Frankenstorm” Challenges
Christian Left Behind Audiences by Blurring the Line Between Apocalyptic Fact
and Fiction

Author Joel Blackford’s new novel Danny’s Inferno, which
follows Daniel, a man who discovers the whereabouts of a man claiming to be the
Antichrist, is available now from Warfare Publishing. The book blends current
events with a new, real-world data to confront readers with a question: Might
there be some legitimacy in biblical prophecy?

Minneapolis, MN—February 20, 2012

Danny’s Inferno, Joel Blackford’s new apocalyptic blend of
fact and fiction, is available today from Warfare Publishing. Blackford, a
Messianic Christian Eschatologist from Minnesota who made predictions about
Hurricane Sandy on his blog long before she hit the East Coast, reveals a
possible End of Days timeline based on a vast array of evidence—from Biblical
research, to astronomical data, to current news headlines. Claiming that the
popular Left Behind books were Biblically incorrect, Blackford challenges them
by presenting an apocalypse scenario that does away with the “rapture” concept
altogether.

The book follows Danny, a man who has just realized the
apocalypse is nearer than he ever could have imagined. When he discovers the
whereabouts of a man claiming to be the Antichrist, he can’t help but be
curious and set out to find him. The quest tests his faith, positions him
directly under Antichrist’s reign of terror, and makes him wonder if, when all
is said and done, he might be left in a world torn apart by tribulation.

Blackford takes great care to present Danny’s Inferno in a
present-tense fashion that will make readers experience the events—some
factual, some fictional—as if they are right there with the characters. The
book tests a new, scene-by-scene approach that interweaves Bible passages, news
stories, and hyperlinks to information that supports Blackford’s theories. “My
goal is to present secular, science-based evidence to illuminate some extremely
interesting coincidences that exist in nature, history, and biblical prophecy,”
Blackford says. “I want to challenge the concepts the Left Behind series
promoted by framing apocalyptic theories against actual world events. If you
like Jonathan Cahn’s book The Harbinger, there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy
Danny’s Inferno.”

In blending science fiction, biblical prophecy, and
real-world events into a book where the lines between fact and fiction often
blur, Blackford challenges his readers to approach media headlines with new,
discerning eyes. “I want people to make decisions about their beliefs that are
based on facts, not Rapture-induced fear-mongering,” he says. “My goal is for
readers to view upcoming world events with less fear and apprehension.”

Joel Blackford is a Messianic Christian Eschatologist from
Minnesota. Danny’s Inferno is on sale both in print and with all major e-book
vendors.
